I have been spreading a lie for quite some time now. While I have always maintained that standards of beauty are extremely subjective, I have also been asserting that within all the subjectivity, there is some universal or objective form of what makes someone beautiful or attractive. It has taken me a while, but […]
Racists have been emboldened by the rhetoric and divisiveness generated largely from the campaigning from president-elect Trump. You do not believe me, take into consideration that Trump was publically endorsed by David Duke, a former Grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan as well as the Klan itself (its first time ever having its official […]
I am slightly confused by the amount of women that voted for Trump this past election. I have worked long and hard at being the evolved asshole I am today, and if someone were to tell me I could be a devoted misogynistic, P**** grabbing chauvinist and still be considered “presidential” then I am […]
Life is comprised of many things. Our systems are in perpetual overload. Work, responsibilities, bills, kids, family, personal relationships, US election results, are just a sampling of the daily buffet of options that not only permeate the headlines of our own existence, but overwhelm the senses.

Reading is more than fundamental it is the tool that can separate the not so fine line of ignorance versus knowledge. Society is moving fast. Change, whether you deem it progress or a hindrance, […]
Forget the Walking Dead zombies, vampires, werewolves and the undead everyone is so fascinated with, because the real apocalypse is upon us and I feel like it may already be too late to stop it. Bitchassness is upon us people. Be afraid…be very afraid. If you are not worried, chances are you have already been […]
I have been an insomniac for well over twenty years now. It started in college and grad school where the cocktail of no curfew, my own room for the first time and the stress of procrastination in having to stay up late to get my work done conditioned my body to late nights and early […]
I am the lead architect, Chief Engineer, El Capitan, HNIC, CEO, Big Dawg, Boss Hogg of all of the Chaos in my life.
